Took me a while to test it over a couple of days to see if commenting out this line stopped the issue with the skin not loading. I had already removed everything related to skinshortcuts and reinstalled, so didn't think it was an old skinshortcuts config. After testing, found that the skin still failed to load even when skinvariables was commented out. Did some additional testing and found that the skin loads no problem when commenting out the splashscreen code from home.xml. No idea why the splashscreen would cause Kodi to crash back to the desktop on my Windows 10 htpc.

Code:

<onload condition="String.IsEmpty(Window(Home).Property(SkinSplashStarted))">ActivateWindow(1117)</onload>

Ah great detective work! I would never have figure that the splash window was the issue.

My guess it is something to do with the close action causing some type of recursion where the window being closed is the window Kodi is trying to go back to - I've definitely had issues like that before when using Action(Close) on a window.

Not really sure what the solution is, so in latest git version I've just switched back to the way the splash was managed in AZ2 (as an overlay group on Home rather than separate window) and that way at least it shouldn't cause this issue.

I can't get the skin to work.  First time I installed, it switched from the skin I was using to AH as expected and displayed the home page, but would not open the customise home page settings.

I restart Kodi and it freezes on the initialising skin page.  I click on a random area of the initialising skin page and the library opens.

I have all the dependencies installed.

Sounds like a skinshortcuts issue - specifically it either isn't installed or it's disabled. Either that or it's addon data is corrupted - hard to tell without a debug log.

Dear @jurialmunkey 
I love your theme, but I would like to add some elements to make it a little more visual.
I have managed to replace, when there is a clearlogo, the title of the video with the clearlogo, but I can't get it to appear cut off.
I paste what I have edited in case you see that something else needs to be edited.

Code:

   
Include_Object.xml
<include name="Object_Info_Title">
        <param name="label" default="$VAR[Label_Info_Title]" />
        <param name="image" default="$VAR[Image_ClearLogo]" />
        <param name="font" default="font_title_large" />
        <param name="textcolor" default="main_fg_100" />
        <definition>
            <control type="group">
                <top>-70</top>
                <height>180</height>
                <control type="label">
                <label>$PARAM[label]</label>
                <textcolor>$PARAM[textcolor]</textcolor>
                <font>$PARAM</font>
                <visible>String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) + String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo))</visible>

                </control>
                <control type="image">
                    <aspectratio align="left" aligny="top">keep</aspectratio>
                    <texture background="true">$PARAM[image]</texture>
                    <visible>!String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(clearlogo)) | !String.IsEmpty(ListItem.Art(tvshow.clearlogo))</visible>
                </control>
                <nested />
            </control>
        </definition>
    </include>

Where? I've tried in different site, but I cannot maintain big clear logo and good position.

Just updated and noticed the new integrated Color Picker, which works great & removes some bloat from having the additional dependancy, nice job.

With this new function would it be possible to assign multiple Overlay Colors which could be cycled perhaps on a skin reload? I usually change this color myself every few days to give a different 'fresh' look so an automated Color change would be a welcome addition if possible

Hi mate,

Greaaaaat skin so far i love it ! 
I'm wondering is there a way to change the circle progress indicator for In progress movies in the menu (on the top right of the movie poster you know) to a progress bar (that would be horizontal at the bottom of the poster) ?
hope my question is clear enough.

Thanks for your continuous support !

Just hadn't got around to updating the changelog. Now updated on releases page.

A good way to see what has happened is by looking at the commit history log.

Missing from clearlogo def.

Also, welcome to some of the many many reasons why I don't do use the clearlogo like this myself!

Yeah I'd been meaning to add the native colourpicker for a while now. I think that's the last thing that relied on skin helper (other than backup but that was kinda broken anyway so I've just removed that entirely).

It's a maybe on the randomised colours - I'm not sure how achievable it would be in the skinning engine alone. Could be done pretty easily with a script though.

I've got a colour matching option in the works that will pull colours based on the currently focused item (similar to what was in Aura using colorbox). I've actually already got it working in TMDbHelper - just need to implement it properly in the skin. Not quite what you're looking for, but can be a neat effect that keeps things fresh.

No option currently.

I assume the main appeal of a bar indicator is that provides a more precise indication of how much has been watched? Or is there some other reason for it?

Reason I ask is because I've got some planned changes to the indicator style coming - and with the new style the progress indicator will now show exactly how much has been watched (rather than just in quarter pie pieces). New style will also improve visibility of indicators.

Yes exactly, it is to know precisely where you are in the movie/episode.
Personally my preference goes to a progress bar rather than a digital percentage.
But great to know that you plan to improve it ! Thanks for your work

Just as an idea, what about per-widget overlay/highlight colors?

Can you please default "Resume playback" instead of "play from the beginning"?

[drinfernoo]

I love the new color picker! Is there any way the slider on the right-hand side could be interactable? Also, how about a label for which palette is being displayed?

Intractable in what way? It's just there to show what the gradient will look like.
